The Harry Potter franchise has made many changes from book to movie, but one specific difference made an integral character's storyline way worse. Hogwarts' infamous potions professor Severus Snape is 31 years old in the books but had an age difference of nearly 20 years from his eventual actor Alan Rickman.
Also, Lily's tombstone says she was born in January 1960, which means that Snape would have been born between September 1959 and August 1960. Since the books take place in the 1990s, that would put him squarely in his 30s. He was 31 when he first met Harry, 38 when he died.
Her family lived in Cokeworth, England. She had an older sister Petunia, whom she was quite close to. At the age of nine, Lily became friends with Severus Snape, who lived down in Spinner's End, which was within walking distance of the Evans' house.
Severus Snape, James Potter, and Lily Potter were all born in early 1960. Since Voldemort's birthday is practically in 1927, the math would be more correct if we calculated the difference between 1960 and 1927. 1960 - 1927 = 33. Voldemort was older by 33 years.
Given that Snape and Sirius have been given birth years of 1960, this would make both of them only about 5 years younger than Andromeda and likely 6 or more than Bellatrix.
J.K. Rowling apparently confirmed that Lily Potter was pregnant again when Voldemort murdered her | Fandom. Thus, in murdering the Potters, save for Harry, Voldemort also killed a younger brother or sister that Harry would ultimately never know before it was even born.
Severus Snape spent the majority of his life in love with Lily Potter. It is easy to understand why Snape, who had an unhappy homelife as a child, fell hard for the first person to show him love and kindness.
According to her official backstory, book McGonagall was born on 4th October 1935, so when she and Dumbledore left Harry with the Dursleys she had just turned 46. In the films, she appears to have been born in about 1870, as she is already a teacher, and noticeably middle-aged, in the early 1920s.
Sirius was only 36 years old when he tragically died at the hands of Bellatrix Lestrange. Since most of the adult Harry Potter actors were older than their characters, the age changes in the films helped hide just how young Sirius actually was.
Lily and James lost their lives on October 31, 1981, while protecting their son from Voldemort's Killing Curse. As seen on the gravestones in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1, Lily and James were just 21 years old when they died.
Snape was born to Eileen Prince, a witch, and Tobias Snape, a Muggle, making him a half-blood (hence the name, "Half-Blood Prince"). This is rare for a Death Eater, as remarked in the last book, though Voldemort himself also had a Muggle father.
Hogwarts' infamous potions professor Severus Snape is 31 years old in the books but had an age difference of nearly 20 years from his eventual actor Alan Rickman. This change, though seemingly small, made Snape's already troubled storyline much worse.
Harry Potter had a few love interests during his time at Hogwarts. Though he eventually settled down with Ginny Weasley, he also had a thing for Cho Chang in his earlier school years. Then, of course, there's his secret love for Draco Malfoy… Wait, what?
In the books, Pansy Parkinson has a schoolgirl crush on Draco, and they went together to the Yule Ball. However, there was no true love between them. In the Cursed Child, Draco Malfoy's wife is Astoria Greengrass.
J.K. Rowling says Draco doesn't have a patronus because he never learned the spell but I think it's because he doesn't have any powerful happy memories to use.
In the play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child," which has become part of "Harry Potter" canon, it was revealed that Bellatrix conceived a child with none other than Lord Voldemort.
In the Cursed Child, Bellatrix and Voldemort produce a daughter named Delphi. She was supposed to be born a few weeks before the Battle of Hogwarts and was subsequently orphaned when both mother and father were killed.
The Harry Potter books are never entirely clear why Voldemort would humor Snape in this way, but he followed through on his promise and offered Lily her life in exchange for her son's. She refused, and though she had no wand and no chance of survival, Lily stood in front of her son and died for him.
Who is Delphini raised by? After the deaths of her parents, Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange, Delphini is raised by Euphemia Rowle, who was not fond of her and allegedly only took her because she was offered a substantial amount of gold.
Mason Riddle is the Son of Tom Marvalo Riddle, otherwise known as Lord Voldemort, and the only American student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
